Hiro here. Why do people always start to think they are invincible, when all they have is a bit of money and few strong guards? I wouldn’t call them invincible if my subordinates can kill them, and I think only I can make someone invincible in this world.
I heard there is a dungeon under this kingdom, seems like people go there to train their skills and level up, I will go there and inspect it a bit.
So on the 7th day I decide to enter the dungeon, there was no mercenary or adventurer guild, you just pay entrance fee to the dungeon guards and all loot you bring up is yours.
I was on the first floor of the dungeon and was stunned by the lack of monsters, there was only empty corridor and few rooms with monsters, 1st room had one spawner gate and 5 goblins, 2nd was the same, 3rd had a taratect spawner same in the 4th.
After a stairs to the second floor there was 4 rooms with horse sized lizards and titanoboas, the most weird part is monsters don’t leave their rooms, they don’t even attack unless you strike first, even then if you leave the room they don’t pursue you and stay inside the room.
On the third floor was room for R&R with simple camp site and water source, then if you go through arch you will enter a hostile area filled by spawned skeletons armed with wooden weapons.
On the fourth floor I encountered first traps that look more like detergent then killing devices, stuff like cold water dropping from ceiling or stinky gas sprayer, they would be triggered if I didn’t have ‘Sneak’ skill level 100, I safely activated them from distance with {player.addspell 1a4cc}[added ‘Telekinesis’ spell] my newly added ‘Telekinesis’ spell just to check their effect.
On the fifth floor was a boss room with big kobold he was spawning little kobolds and traps, {player.addspell 45f9b}[added ‘Chain Lightning’ spell] I tried to experiment with my newly added spell, they all died anticlimactically, the door on the other end of boss room opened and there was a treasure room filled with needless crap, for me it looked more like lost and found room with stuff that dungeon divers lost or dropped when boss killed them(well to be fair all this stuff was trash only in my perception, there was bronze weapons some iron weapons, different kinds of armors, few thousands of copper coins and a little bit of silver coins), the main reason to come here was on pedestal behind the pile of coins (I read somewhere that dungeon cores are sentient beings with dungeon master helping them to protect dungeon from invaders) so I loot 100 silver and 5000 copper coins with ‘telekinesis’ and walk straight to dungeon core.
“Sentient being dwelling inside this core show yourself before me or be destroyed with your dungeon core” I say as I point my ‘Mystic Sword’(sword summoned with ‘bound sword’ spell in case you forgot events of chapter 9), behind the core appears teenage girl of dogkin, she immediately covers the core with her hands and snarls at me, I looked at her [Bid dungeon_core_8]
“Gol Hah Dov I name you Hachiko, you will obey my will and my every order as I say ‘I order you Hachiko’” she stopped snarling and looked at me.
“Tell me Hachiko why is this dungeon made like training ground for invaders?”, “We dungeon cores can meet in subspace, we communicate there about ways to survive and to lure invaders deeper into dungeon and protect the core from being shattered, that’s where I learned the way to coexist with humans city” she spoke as she straightened up after I dispelled ‘Bond Sword’.
“Did I kill your dungeon master?”, “Yes” she said as she saddened a bit.
“Well he was stupid and weak, so I will be your dungeon master, because I got plans for you” as I say that menu of foreign system appears before me, it show a massage :Hiro set as DM: there was a catalog of traps and object, DP(Dungeon Points) count with 8000dp as reserve and dungeons total cost was 250,000dp, I am not like a certain lazy dungeon keeper that sleeps 12 hours a day, so I start customizing dungeon at once (I read that people flee from dungeon when they think it’s in transition period) I add few traps where possible, spawn skeletons with wooden weapons everywhere and I see as everyone start to flee, I ‘FT’ to first floor and help with evac, in few hours the guards set up defencive cordon around dungeon, and I volunteered to stand guard and fend off overflowing skeletons, as defencive cordon finally takes a break from overflowing skeletons, everyone settle down and disperse to get healed or to get some R&R, skeletons are very skilled fighters for low leveled mobs but they are armed with wooden weapons so no one was killed or severely injured.
It looks like they will keep this cordon up for a few weeks and see how it goes, no one will enter dungeon for two weeks until investigation party gets ready, I go to back alley after I say I need some R&R and ‘FT’ back to treasure room, now I can customize whole dungeon and I have plenty of time, first off I expanded dungeons external territory until cordon, then I add DP with gold coins {player.placeatme Gold_coin 5000}[spawned 5000 Gold_coin], I turn gold coins into DP, so to summon one copper you will spend 10dp but when you turn one copper to DP you only get 1dp, with this conversion rate I get 5,000,000,000dp from 5k gold.
I make a straight pathway from campsite area in dungeon to the ground level then expand dungeon by adding levels with automatic copy paste tool, with increasing difficulty same 4 rooms repeat until 20th underground floor, I move treasure room to the side of 3rd level and connect it to the exit from 3rd underground floor with teleporter door then connect treasure room to boss room on level 21 with escalator powered by magic, I expand camp site on third floor and move level with traps to level 20, (I will not name all random monsters that will spawn in new rooms it’s bothersome(面倒くさい)) I expanded camp site area around hostile zone, so now if you want to you can go around hostile zone with skeletons and descend straight to 4th floor, then I split hostile zone to six rings with spawners in the middle and now skeletons can’t leave the training ring.
On level 20 I set up paralyzing gas traps instead of stink spray, then sedative shower instead of cold water, in one minute after skin contact drug sedates target for at least 5 hours and then Hachiko can order one of wandering skeletons to deliver sleeping dungeon explorers to 3rd floor.
And now for the boss, I summoned {player.placeatme 0003c57c}[summoned Paarthurnax], boss room on 21st level made to let gigantic creature let it spread it’s wings, it’s so vast that you can fly away from your adversary and rest on some of word walls I made replicating the ones from my favored game, I didn’t copy thu’um on them though, now about boss he is displayed as an invader now, even trough I spawned him myself as a dungeon master of this dungeon, well there is only one way to fix this, I look at Paarthurnax as he looks at me dumbfounded then looks around but before he could say anything {kill 0003c57c}[Paarthurnax killed], I absorb him into dungeon and get 15,000dp and also one dragon soul, now from menu I can summon Paarthurnax, at least I thought so menu says ‘Ancient Dragon’ 300,000dp, I summoned it and it wasn’t Paarthurnax it was ancient dragon as skilled and as strong as Paarthurnax but he had zero knowledge of previous world, well I think we will settle on this.
Now I spawn a ‘Domovoi’(座敷わらし) create a trading outpost on 3rd floor, right by the straight exit from dungeon, then place Zashiki-Warashi inside a shop I bought for 250,000dp, I ‘FT’ there and name ‘Domovoi’ as Sadako she looks a lot like Sadako’s smaller version.
“Your name is Sadako and you will be running this shop, buy for money everything people bring you and turn it all into dungeon points, you can also sell food from this menu for money, you can transfer money from treasury to here, if you have more than 100 silver in copper equivalent transfer it to treasury, if there is more than 5 silver in this shop send excess silver to treasury” I say that as I give her authority to use DP and ‘dungeon control menu’, then just to check I asked of her addition, subtraction and times tables, it took me a day to teach her basic arithmetics until division, I spent 100,000dp to summon the smartest ‘domovoi’ possible so she caught up fast.
And now the final improvement to the dungeon I made fake dungeon core in treasure room and pour out 5k copper and 100 silver around it, then I move the real dungen core to the shop and put it behind the counter, Hachiko appears out of the core and hugs me.
“I saw how strong you are but I didn’t expect this much from a human” well whatever happens to this dungeon from now on is none of my business I look at Sadako
“Gol Hah Dov you will obey my will and all of my orders, you are the dungeon master from now on” my dungeon menu disappears and then I look at Hachiko {Hachiko.setav health 100,000}[hp set to 100,000], {Hachiko.setav healthrate 10,000}[regen 10,000], {Hachiko.setav stamina 10,000}[sp 10,000], {Hachiko.setav staminarate 1000}[stamina regen 1000].
“I made you nearly invincible so now you will protect Sadako and dungeon core by yourself” I say as I stab Hachiko with mystic sword it took out 15,000hp from her health gauge but as I dispel sword she regenerates in few seconds as I finished with this dungeons upgrade,
“Also if there is more than 5000 copper or 200 silver in treasury turn extra into dp” and now I ‘FT’ back to my hotel.
Next day I try to litter money shopping on lower noble district to look for some trouble, I found a trouble from an unexpected source, some young noble with guards confronted me in the middle of the street, he said
“Would you look at this rich merchants kid, do you think you can walk here like you own the place?” this trouble might grow into something bigger so I turn off ‘TGM’ and switch to ‘TIM’ in case I must pretend to be losing.
“You suggest that you own this capital?” as I said that some young guard step in front of young noble and say
“How dare you address her highness like that!” is she a princess or something?
“Excuse my manners I wasn’t properly introduced” young guard removes his hand from the hilt of his sword
“Her highness is an only of Lord Vargus Liberian” so she isn’t the actual princess but her father might be related to current king,
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
“Then we will go and meet your Lord, so that I can see for what reason his only daughter is trying to assault me” young nobles face is red like a tomato she must be angry because she can’t abuse me in public.
We enter a big estate it’s as big as manor used as castle in that river side town, half of guards detach as we entered the main gates and only one young guard followed us as we entered the main building, I was asked to wait for the lord at the guest room
“I will personally challenge and...” the beefy noble burges in from the side door behind me as I turn around and face him he freezes on spot
“So your name was Vargus nice to see you again” I say as I remember the guy from king’s entourage that tried to slit chief advisors throat, while I say that young guard and young noble look at me as if I broke some rule of common sense and turned their world upside down, they look at Var-kun then at me then again at Var-kun, so I decide to break the silence,
“So you don’t even treat your guests with some beverage?” as I say that Var-kun breaks out in sweat and rushes to dogeza at my feet, as servants see that they scramble to bring some beverage and I get a sparkling sweet wine, this must be expensive,
“My deepest apologies I spoiled my beloved daughter, please I beg of you spare her life, your excellency can have my life and all my riches” looks like he took it the wrong way,
“Rise your head I won’t take anyone's lives today and I don’t need your riches” he sits in seiza and looks at me with shining happy face if he had a tail it would be waging violently now
“Then you can have my daughter as your wife, she was betrothed to Imperial noble but your excellency is the best man there is” his daughter is spoiled rotten noble daughter with daddy issues I don’t need this trouble(to-love-ru) on my hands
“Father why do I have to marry this plebeian?” the spoiled girl retorts so, clearly thinking she is invincible with her father's power and influence
“Ronda this man here is above Kings and Emperors he is a demigod that made our king and his chief advisor immortal beings, now come kneel before him and beg him to take you as his wife” young noble freezes in place red as tomato she must be enraged,
“You must be misunderstanding, I just came here to see if there is a corrupted noble in this kingdom, I don’t need your spoiled daughter” is this my imagination or is that girl looks disappointed? I thought she will be happy if I turn down this betrothal,
“I am sorry your godly excellency must be offended by such a lowly offering, how may I show my good will and my excuses to our godly excellency, my spoiled daughter mistreated his excellency” well if you put it that way
“I will have a fresh corked bottle of this beverage and take my leave” I will identify this bottle and will use it in case I will have some negotiation to do.
Well this wasn’t a complete waste of time, but I need to unearth some roots of corruption in this capital, so I go for trading guild, buy a trading license of 1st level for 1 silver, looks like it’s some kind of insurance company that protect traders from frauds and in case you are one your license will be revoked, so there is a different levels of licence based on your capital you can update your licence, and licence above level 10 are only for trading companies.
I sell stuff I won’t need, mostly damaged armor I got from army and most of crappy weapons, as I trade I buy info on influential people and look for signs of corruption, I found few guys that are getting drunk on power and stuck on loop with money makes power-power makes money, so I visit them and take their precious power away as I report them to king and enact my power as kings superior, they can’t put anything against king saying that demigod requests to stip them of power and rank, so I subdued all opposing factions with the help of chief advisor, then I taught him the ways to fertilize the soil and the method of field rotation.
I ‘FT’ to my outpost that I plan to make my home base, I put the dungeon core from my inventory in a silver chalice that was lying with treasures around a throne and put it on the throne’s armrest,
“Show yourself before me sentient being dwelling inside this dungeon core” and before me appeared a very pale very young girl with black hair and dark irises [Bid dungeon_core_89] she looks like she is 6 or 7 years old,
“Do you have a name?”, “I was given a name Dungeon Core No.89” what a poor naming skill their creator have
“I name you Haku because you are so pale...”, “What?...” :Hiro set as DM: “No, why? Cancel!” she is piter pater all over the place
“Let’s see if I can enter the core” I say as I put my hand on core, core absorbs me into it and I appear inside an empty white circular room, menu shows DP count of 0 and dungeon value of 0 and daily income is 5dp, {player.additem gold_coin 10,000}[added 10k gold_coin to inventory] I place 1000 gold on floor and absorb it into dungeon and turn it to DP, as I do that Haku-chan appears in the room and starts to pout
“How could you enter without permission! Rude!” she looks so cute when she’s angry I can’t stop smiling
“What!? How 1,000,000,000dp where did you?” she is shocked, but I am not going to explain everything to her now, I take whole castle as dungeon because I sent out everyone beforehand and change it to look like disney castle, then increase it’s durability to maximum, now it can withstand a direct asteroid impact, now I wait as my subordinates gather every villager in castle and then set the village and surrounding farm lands as dungeon.
I have about 10k DP now so I pour out 9k gold and turn it to DP, I make a circular dungeon with 16 rooms on one floor and serpentine staircase, each room has one spanner and all monsters are limited to their room (spanner can spawn and control up to 5 monsters of designated type, if you kill one replacement will be spawned one per minute), there was a classic prison dungeon with torture chamber, so I made my dungeon lower than that and with an entrance from outside, it will be a minute walk from village, celling of the dungeon is indestructible so no one will run from prison, there is 89 floors in this dungeon and on floor 89 will reside summoned real ‘Paarthurnax’, floor 88 is filed with dremora and they are roaming, floor 87 is filled with sleeping gas and paralyzing dart traps, all previous floors from first to 86 are mostly training grounds raising in levels depending on depth, there one resting area and trading shed on each floor, each shop is populated with one ‘domovoi’ I made them all immortal they are copies of Sadako and know math, but for now they all nameless.
I also made a word wall on top of the longest tower and in that tower leaves another ‘Domovoi’ that will dispense food for the dragon that will reside here, {player.placeatme 45920}[summoned Odahviing] Odahviing appears before me sitting on a word wall he looks at me
“Yol Toor Shul” it’s hot, it’s painful he’s going to bite me
“
“Od Ah Viing,
“You will stay here forever and guard this castle, if I call you, you will come to my aide, this one will be feeding you anything you like” I introduced zashiki-warashi that will reside in tower.
Now I move to dungeon floor 89 with help of :Menu:, {player.placeatme 0003c57c}[summoned Paarthurnax] and white ancient dragon appears and inspects his surroundings, next is {player.placeatme 0008e4f1}[summoned Alduin] Alduin, he’s a bit bigger than Paarthurnax but still is a colossal size, as he appears Paarthurnax shows signs of hostility towards Alduin
“
“Fus Ro Dah” I shout out ‘Unrelenting Force’ at Paarthurnax to greet him, but he is thrown to the other side of room that was almost as vast as a greater Tokyo metro area, and got stuck inside a wall, I move to under his hole
“Are you okay? Sorry I overestimated you a bit” he is still alive but might be injured {player.setav Restoration 100}[skill Restoration level 100] so I apply ‘Healing’ spell after I added all perks in opened menu with frozen time.
“I was greeting you to this world but now you can see the difference in might, I summoned Alduin just to show you that there is no need to worry over his existence, you can leave here this is a dungeon I created, you will have to defend it from invaders” as I was talking Paarthurnax crawled out of hole he made when he failed to counter the horizontal acceleration introduced by ‘Unrelenting Force’
“You are dovah kin? But this might is unparalleled you can destroy this world if you are free to roam, and why do you want me to guard this place when you can defeat anyone that easily?” this old dovah might bring troubles and he talks too much
“I am sort of kin to dovah, and as you saw I can help not only bring harm, unlike Alduin I don’t plan to consume all life in all worlds”. Old dovah looked at me in distrust
“This place is a boss room that is the last line of defense for next winter's last source of food, this dungeon will provide food for whole humanity and your purpose is to defend this gateway that leads to dungeon core” I summoned one centner(15 stone) of medium rare t-bone steaks with DP, just to prove my point
“Zashiki-Warashi from floor 86 will teleport here daily to check on you, you can ask for any food you want” I say in front of dragon that is munching on juicy steaks.
“Lastly you can’t teach thu’um to anyone and I mean no one”.
I am too lazy to travel to Empire on foot or suffer for a whole month in shaking carriage or beat my ass off on horseback, so {TMM 1}[all map fast travel points revealed] I open map in menu and in frozen time appear in the middle of the Imperial castle.
